Kou Ji entered the cell and handed the food box in his hand to Ding Wei.
Ding Wei held the chain in one hand and the food box in the other.
He put the food box on the ground casually, and he opened the food box to reveal the contents.
The food box was prepared by Kou Zhun. Kou Ji didn't take a peek, so he didn't know what was inside. After Ding Wei opened it, he craned his neck and took a look.
"Deer tail..."
A plate of steamed deer tail and a pot of muddy wine.
Putting two things together, not only doesn't match up, but also a bit nondescript.
Kou Ji didn't understand Kou Zhun's intention to send these two things to Ding Wei.
Is it like when Kou Zhun asked him to send Lu Yijian
Which of these two things is Ding Wei's favorite
"Swipe..."
When Kou Ji thought secretly, Ding Wei was like a mad cow, shaking the chain in his hand, knocking the wine and vegetables in the food box to the ground, and then madly beating his head with his fist.
Seeing this, Kou Ji looked stunned, "Really crazy?"
"The old man is not crazy!"
Ding Wei stopped abruptly and roared hysterically.
Kou Ji twitched his lips and said, "Then what are you?"
Ding Wei stared: "The old man is not happy."
Kou Ji thought about it: "Because that one drink and one dish?"
Ding Wei got up, walked two steps in front of Kou Ji, stared at Kou Ji, and asked, "Do you know what that one drink and one dish means?"
Kou Ji shook his head.
Ding Wei snorted, "The old man doesn't know. But the old man can see that your grandfather is humiliating the old man."
Kou Ji nodded thoughtfully.
Ordinary decapitated rice, that is big fish and meat, Kou Zhun prepared decapitated rice, obviously different from the ordinary, that is to say, it has a special meaning in it.
Based on the relationship between Kou Zhun and Ding Wei, Kou Zhun obviously does not have much good intentions for Ding Wei, so the unusual head-off meal that Kou Zhun asked Kou Ji to send must have special meaning, and it is not good. Meaning.
"Let the jailer prepare a table of dishes again, and the old man will have a good chat with you."
Ding Wei was no longer crazy, he stared at Kou Ji and ordered.
Kou Ji thought for a while, took out two golden leaves from his arms and threw them to the jailer.
"Go to Fanlou and order a table for waiting."
"The villain is going."
The jailer lifted his leg and walked out, without moving the golden leaf thrown by Kou Ji from beginning to end.
In his opinion, it is already his blessing for Koji to instruct him, so how can he dare to take Koji's money
Although his official position is low, he earns a lot of money in secret every month, and a table of Fanlou's table is not enough to make him stretched out.
If this table table can make him into the eyes of Kou Ji, it is better than anything.
The jailer left.
Ding Wei sat cross-legged on the ground like a Buddha without saying a word.
Kou Ji had a heart to chat with Ding Wei, but Ding Wei didn't want to talk, so he couldn't force it.
Ding Wei stayed cross-legged for a long time, suddenly looked at Kou Ji, and asked: "If you don't ask the old man, why would you be different before you hear the drum and in the cell?"
Kou Ji thought about it, and said seriously: "It's probably because I know that my death date is approaching, so I'm relieved."
"Shit!"
Ding Wei cursed in a low voice.
Then gritted his teeth and said: "Before hearing the drum, the old man saw Li Zhaoliang showing up with the old man's secret letter, the old man knew he was bound to die."
"Hundreds of thousands of soldiers defeated Huaizhou. It is indeed the old man's fault for greed and advance. The old man needs to explain to the people of the world."
"..."
Kou Ji looked at Ding Wei dumbfounded. He couldn't believe that this treacherous minister could actually say such a sensible statement.
Ding Wei didn't care about Kou Ji's look. He said to himself: "The reason why the old man did this before he heard the drum is to follow your mind and help you climb Liu E."
Kou Ji was taken aback, and said in doubt: "Climb bite the queen dowager? The queen mother is your only life-saving straw. You bite on her, and she fell into this matter, but there is no way to save you. You are not seeking your own death. Way?"
Ding Wei snorted and asked, "Can she save the old man in the hands of your grandfather and Manchu Wuxun?"
Kou Ji thought about it and shook his head, "Before Deng Wengu, there are not only my grandfather, Wu Xun, but also the people of Bianjing.
They want you to die, even if the first emperor resurrects, they can only let you die. "
Ding Wei smiled fiercely: "If this is the case, why should the old man protect Liu E
The old husband's wife and children were all killed by Zhou Huaizheng's bitch.
The old man does not need Liu E to protect his wife and children. Why does the old man protect her
The old man wants to pull her into the water together.
It was her idea to attack Xixia, and it was also her idea to send the old man out.
When the old man left Beijing, she secretly told the old man that if she encountered something that could build meritorious works, let the old man not miss it.
So when the old man met Yelulongxu, he had the thought of going up and grabbing him.
Even if the army was defeated in the end, the old man was at fault, but she was also at fault.
After what happened, the old man died, but she was safe and sound. "
Kou Ji frowned and groaned: "Since you are going to bite the queen mother, why not shake all the ugly things the queen mother has done?"
Ding Wei smiled and said: "If you want to know, the old man can tell you all? But even if you know that she is full of wickedness? What can you do with her?"
Kou Ji opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
Ding Wei continued: "Apart from leading a hundred officials to impeach her and live in her secluded area, what can you do
You can't kill her.
Since you can't kill her, even if you have more evidence of her crimes, what can you do? "
"Hey..."
Ding Wei laughed in a low voice, and said, "This world is like this. It is hard for a good person to stand out, and a bad person keeps rising.
Being a good person will be bullied for a lifetime.
Being a big bad guy will make you rich for life. "
Kou Ji groaned: "You are a fallacy..."
Ding Weihuang pointed his head and said: "What the old man said is the truth. Because the old man is a living example."
"The old man once wanted to be a good man, a good man, an upright official, an upright official with a long history... but no one gave the old man a chance."
"The old man is born with extraordinary talents, has the ability to remember, and can draw inferences from other things, so his knowledge is far superior to others and he is known as a child prodigy.
Someone read the old man's article and praised the old man for becoming a great scholar.
He also married his daughter-in-law to an old man.
Someone read the old man's article and praised him for being a literati that no one can match after Liu Zongyuan in the past two hundred years. "
"The old man entered the official career after listening to the sound of praise."
"After joining the officialdom, the old man also upholds the attitude of being an upright official and an upright official who asks for orders for the people. For the people and for the officials, the old man has worked hard to manage many places.
Put down rebellion, strangled chaos, cured hunger, repaired water.
The old man has done everything that a clean clerk does and should do.
Even things that an honest official can't do, the old man has done too.
But every time the court was promoted, there was no old man's share.
The old man has obviously done so much for the court and the people. Why is there no role for an old man when he is promoted
Those officials around the old man who didn't do anything, and waited for death all day long, have been repeatedly sealed.
This is unfair to the old man, and unfair to all the honest officials in the world. "
"The old man is not reconciled. The old man wants to climb up, want to climb up and take a look, to see what kind of officials are in charge of the Song Dynasty, why are they blindfolded?"
"In order to climb up, the old man gave up and continued to be an upright official and chose to be a slanderer.
The first day the old man chose to be a slanderer, he first recognized himself with a great ancestor. "
"Don't you blame it. Since the old man had a great ancestor, the old man has been promoted even if he doesn't do anything..."
Ding Wei said and smiled, as if joking.
But Kou Ji heard a deep sarcasm in his tone.
Ding Wei continued: "Since the old man had a great ancestor, the old man prospered all the way and was promoted to the city of Bianjing.
After arriving in the city of Bianjing, the old man discovered that his ancestor with a big background didn't look enough in the city of Bianjing.
So the old man recognized himself more of an ancestor, a fairy ancestor.
Since the old man had a fairy ancestor, he has been favored by the first emperor, and he has been promoted all the way to the position of participating in political affairs.
If it wasn't for the old man who felt that his qualifications were too low and he couldn't live with the officials, and specially invited your grandfather to return to Bianjing, the old man might still be able to sit in the position of Pingzhangshi. "
Kou Ji frowned and said, "What is your intention when you tell me about your past?"
Ding Wei sneered: "The old man just wanted to tell you that the reason why the old man became like this was all forced.
This court does not need upright officials and officials. "
Kou Ji stared at Ding Wei and said seriously: "You are wrong..."
"Yeah! The old man was wrong, the old man was not ruthless enough. If the old man didn't welcome your grandfather to Beijing, but instead demoted him to the border, if he died in a foreign land, the old man would not fall to this end."
Kou Ji stared at Ding Wei coldly and said, "I said you were wrong. It has nothing to do with my grandfather, but you.
From the moment you became an official, you were not an official for the people, you were purely to prove what others praised you, for the sake of prosperity and wealth.
After you have adopted proper means and tried again and again, but failed to get results, you began to decisively choose the evil way to achieve your goal.
So, what you are like today has nothing to do with the court or the world. It is purely that your own mind was not right from the beginning.
If you are upright, you should work hard to protect the people.
Even if you cannot enter the center because of the imperial court, you can still make a name in the history of youth, and there is no shortage of prosperity. "
Ding Wei said with a deep sneer on his face: "If you don't enter the center, you can count as a high official. If you don't enter the center, how can you stay in the history."
"How was Wei Zheng in the pre-Tang Dynasty? How was Tai Shi Gong in the Western Han Dynasty?"
Kou Ji questioned.
Ding Wei gritted his teeth and said: "They are ancient people, and all they met are Mingzhu..."
"You mean that the first emperor is not a Mingzhu, so you can't become Tai Shi Gong, and you can't become Wei Zheng?"
"Not bad!"
Kou Ji nodded slowly and said, "Then I will find someone who stands upright in the hands of the Emperor."
"I don't believe it, there are such people."
"What do you think of Qingjian City Zhong Shiheng?"
Ding Wei was taken aback, his expression changed, and he gritted his teeth and said, "That person you are talking about is Chong Shiheng?"
Kou Ji nodded and said, "Yes, Zhong Shiheng!"
After a pause, Kou Ji added: "Now it's time to call him a lot of experience.
After the Battle of Xixia, the imperial court set up two administrative governors in the newly added place. One of them is Chong Shiheng.
The imperial decree is still sent by you, you don’t know it. "
Ding Wei gritted his teeth and said: "Chong Shiheng's uncle is a big Confucian scholar."
"so what?"
Kou Ji questioned: "Zhongfang is certainly a great scholar in the Song Dynasty, but he refused to resign after the court tried several times.
From the perspective of officialdom, Chong Fang does not help Chong Shiheng much.
Chong Shiheng can have today's status entirely on his own.
In the past, the court sent him to Qingjian to build the city, and he rushed to Qingjian to build the city silently.
He built the city in Qingjian for many years, and after the completion of Qingjian City, he stayed in Qingjian City for many years.
During this period, can he complain
Not a word.
He built a city on a wasteland, and it took decades to make an empty city prosperous.
In addition to repeatedly decreeing to praise him, did the court quickly promote him
No!
If he has the same thoughts as you, he feels that the court has treated him unfairly, and he wants to pursue official posts blindly.
I am afraid that there will be no Qingjian City, nor will there be the current experience.
Although Jinglue is more than a bit worse than participating in political affairs, who dares to say that Jinglue is not a high official
Who mentioned Chong Shiheng without complimenting him
How dare the historian who compiled the history books not mention his achievements in the history books? "
After saying this, Kou Ji stared at Ding Wei and said solemnly: "So you ended up in today's game and it has nothing to do with anyone.
It's purely your own fault.
Until now, you still can't see your own problems, and you are still complaining here.
I'm so embarrassed to teach me your fallacies. "
Kou Ji slowly got up, tossed his sleeves, and said faintly: "Ding Wei, cleverness has been mistaken by cleverness. It's you.
I used to think you were a character, but now it looks like that's the case.
If you have to blame others for your fault, then you should blame the person who married your daughter, and you should also blame the person who praised you for being comparable to Liu Zongyuan.
If they hadn't made you proud of your ambition, how could you have become like this? "
Abandoning these words, Kou Ji tossed his sleeves and left.
He didn't want to spend more time in the cell, and he didn't want to bother talking to Ding, who had never repented until he died.
Ding Wei never heard the story of hurting Zhongyong.
Otherwise, he will definitely be humble when others praise him desperately.
There are always smart people who like to pretend to be arrogant and always feel that they are smarter than others, so they should be better than others in everything.
This type of people will always lose themselves in the praise of others, and finally go astray and harm others and themselves.
Ding Wei is the best example.
Kou Ji got out of the cell and ran into the jailer who came to deliver the wine and food.
In order to climb Kou Ji, the jailer also paid a lot of money and ordered sixteen dishes in one breath.
One by one is a hard dish.
It's just that he was a little dumbfounded when he saw Kou Ji standing outside the cell.
